PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 αποθεμενοι ουν πασαν κακιαν και παντα δολον και υποκρισεισ και φθονουσ και πασασ καταλαλιασ
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
1 Ἀποθέμενοι οὖν πᾶσαν κακίαν καὶ πάντα δόλον καὶ ὑποκρίσεις καὶ φθόνους καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς,
2 ωσ αρτιγεννητα βρεφη το λογικον αδολον γαλα επιποθησατε ινα εν αυτω αυξηθητε
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
2 ὡς ἀρτιγέννητα βρέφη τὸ λογικὸν ἄδολον γάλα ἐπιποθήσατε, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῷ αὐξηθῆτε [εἰς σωτηρίαν],
3 ειπερ εγευσασθε οτι χρηστοσ ο κυριοσ
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
3 εἴπερ ἐγεύσασθε ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ Κύριος.
4 προσ ον προσερχομενοι λιθον ζωντα υπο ανθρωπων μεν αποδεδοκιμασμενον παρα δε θεω εκλεκτον εντιμον
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
4 Πρὸς ὃν προσερχόμενοι, λίθον ζῶντα, ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπων μὲν ἀποδεδοκιμασμένον, παρὰ δὲ Θεῷ ἐκλεκτόν, ἔντιμον,
5 και αυτοι ωσ λιθοι ζωντεσ οικοδομεισθε οικοσ πνευματικοσ ιερατευμα αγιον ανενεγκαι πνευματικασ θυσιασ ευπροσδεκτουσ τω θεω δια ιησου χριστου
5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
5 καὶ αὐτοὶ ὡς λίθοι ζῶντες οἰκοδομεῖσθε οἶκος πνευματικός, ἱεράτευμα ἅγιον, ἀνενέγκαι πνευματικὰς θυσίας εὐπροσδέκτους τῷ Θεῷ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ·
6 διοτι περιεχει εν τη γραφη ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον ακρογωνιαιον εκλεκτον εντιμον και ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου μη καταισχυνθη
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
6 διότι περιέχει ἐν τῇ γραφῇ· ἰδοὺ τίθημι ἐν Σιὼν λίθον ἀκρογωνιαῖον, ἐκλεκτόν, ἔντιμον, καὶ ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.
7 υμιν ουν η τιμη τοισ πιστευουσιν απειθουσιν δε λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
7 ὑμῖν οὖν ἡ τιμὴ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν, ἀπειθοῦσι δὲ λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας καὶ λίθος προσκόμματος καὶ πέτρα σκανδάλου.
8 και λιθοσ προσκομματοσ και πετρα σκανδαλου οι προσκοπτουσιν τω λογω απειθουντεσ εισ ο και ετεθησαν
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
8 οἳ προσκόπτουσι τῷ λόγῳ ἀπειθοῦντες, εἰς ὃ καὶ ἐτέθησαν.
9 υμεισ δε γενοσ εκλεκτον βασιλειον ιερατευμα εθνοσ αγιον λαοσ εισ περιποιησιν οπωσ τασ αρετασ εξαγγειλητε του εκ σκοτουσ υμασ καλεσαντοσ εισ το θαυμαστον αυτου φωσ
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
9 ὑμεῖς δὲ γένος ἐκλεκτόν, βασίλειον ἱεράτευμα, ἔθνος ἅγιον, λαὸς εἰς περιποίησιν, ὅπως τὰς ἀρετὰς ἐξαγγείλητε τοῦ ἐκ σκότους ὑμᾶς καλέσαντος εἰς τὸ θαυμαστὸν αὐτοῦ φῶς·
10 οι ποτε ου λαοσ νυν δε λαοσ θεου οι ουκ ηλεημενοι νυν δε ελεηθεντεσ
10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
10 οἵ ποτε οὐ λαός, νῦν δὲ λαὸς Θεοῦ, οἱ οὐκ ἠλεημένοι, νῦν δὲ ἐλεηθέντες.
11 αγαπητοι παρακαλω ωσ παροικουσ και παρεπιδημουσ απεχεσθαι των σαρκικων επιθυμιων αιτινεσ στρατευονται κατα τησ ψυχησ
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
11 Ἀγαπητοί, παρακαλῶ ὡς παροίκους καὶ παρεπιδήμους, ἀπέχεσθε τῶν σαρκικῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν, αἵτινες στρατεύονται κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς,
12 την αναστροφην υμων εχοντεσ καλην εν τοισ εθνεσιν ινα εν ω καταλαλουσιν υμων ωσ κακοποιων εκ των καλων εργων εποπτευσαντεσ δοξασωσιν τον θεον εν ημερα επισκοπησ
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
12 τὴν ἀναστροφὴν ὑμῶν ἔχοντες καλὴν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καταλαλοῦσιν ὑμῶν ὡς κακοποιῶν, ἐκ τῶν καλῶν ἔργων ἐποπτεύσαντες δοξάσωσι τὸν Θεὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπισκοπῆς.
13 υποταγητε ουν παση ανθρωπινη κτισει δια τον κυριον ειτε βασιλει ωσ υπερεχοντι
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
13 Ὑποτάγητε οὖν πάσῃ ἀνθρωπίνῃ κτίσει διὰ τὸν Κύριον, εἴτε βασιλεῖ, ὡς ὑπερέχοντι,
14 ειτε ηγεμοσιν ωσ δι αυτου πεμπομενοισ εισ εκδικησιν κακοποιων επαινον δε αγαθοποιων
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
14 εἴτε ἡγεμόσιν, ὡς δι᾽ αὐτοῦ πεμπομένοις εἰς ἐκδίκησιν [μὲν] κακοποιῶν, ἔπαινον δὲ ἀγαθοποιῶν·
15 οτι ουτωσ εστιν το θελημα του θεου αγαθοποιουντασ φιμουν την των αφρονων ανθρωπων αγνωσιαν
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
15 ὅτι οὕτως ἐστὶ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀγαθοποιοῦντας φιμοῦν τὴν τῶν ἀφρόνων ἀνθρώπων ἀγνωσίαν·
16 ωσ ελευθεροι και μη ωσ επικαλυμμα εχοντεσ τησ κακιασ την ελευθεριαν αλλ ωσ δουλοι θεου
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
16 ὡς ἐλεύθεροι, καὶ μὴ ὡς ἐπικάλυμμα ἔχοντες τῆς κακίας τὴν ἐλευθερίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς δοῦλοι Θεοῦ.
17 παντασ τιμησατε την αδελφοτητα αγαπησατε τον θεον φοβεισθε τον βασιλεα τιματε
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
17 πάντας τιμήσατε, τὴν ἀδελφότητα ἀγαπᾶτε, τὸν Θεὸν φοβεῖσθε, τὸν βασιλέα τιμᾶτε.
18 οι οικεται υποτασσομενοι εν παντι φοβω τοισ δεσποταισ ου μονον τοισ αγαθοισ και επιεικεσιν αλλα και τοισ σκολιοισ
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
18 Οἱ οἰκέται ὑποτασσόμενοι ἐν παντὶ φόβῳ τοῖς δεσπόταις, οὐ μόνον τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς καὶ ἐπιεικέσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς σκολιοῖς.
19 τουτο γαρ χαρισ ει δια συνειδησιν θεου υποφερει τισ λυπασ πασχων αδικωσ
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
19 τοῦτο γὰρ χάρις, εἰ διὰ συνείδησιν Θεοῦ ὑποφέρει τις λύπας, πάσχων ἀδίκως.
20 ποιον γαρ κλεοσ ει αμαρτανοντεσ και κολαφιζομενοι υπομενειτε αλλ ει αγαθοποιουντεσ και πασχοντεσ υπομενειτε τουτο χαρισ παρα θεω
20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
20 ποῖον γὰρ κλέος, εἰ ἁμαρτάνοντες καὶ κολαφιζόμενοι ὑπομενεῖτε; ἀλλ᾽ εἰ ἀγαθοποιοῦντες καὶ πάσχοντες ὑπομενεῖτε, τοῦτο χάρις παρὰ Θεῷ.
21 εισ τουτο γαρ εκληθητε οτι και χριστοσ επαθεν υπερ ημων υμιν υπολιμπανων υπογραμμον ινα επακολουθησητε τοισ ιχνεσιν αυτου
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
21 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ἐκλήθητε, ὅτι καὶ Χριστὸς ἔπαθεν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ὑμῖν ὑπολιμπάνων ὑπογραμμὸν ἵνα ἐπακολουθήσητε τοῖς ἴχνεσιν αὐτοῦ·
22 οσ αμαρτιαν ουκ εποιησεν ουδε ευρεθη δολοσ εν τω στοματι αυτου
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
22 ὃς ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἐποίησεν, οὐδὲ εὑρέθη δόλος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ·
23 οσ λοιδορουμενοσ ουκ αντελοιδορει πασχων ουκ ηπειλει παρεδιδου δε τω κρινοντι δικαιωσ
23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
23 ὃς λοιδορούμενος οὐκ ἀντελοιδόρει, πάσχων οὐκ ἠπείλει, παρεδίδου δὲ τῷ κρίνοντι δικαίως·
24 οσ τασ αμαρτιασ ημων αυτοσ ανηνεγκεν εν τω σωματι αυτου επι το ξυλον ινα ταισ αμαρτιαισ απογενομενοι τη δικαιοσυνη ζησωμεν ου τω μωλωπι αυτου ιαθητε
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
24 ὃς τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν αὐτὸς ἀνήνεγκεν ἐν τῷ σώματι αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον, ἵνα ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ ζήσωμεν· οὗ τῷ μώλωπι [αὐτοῦ] ἰάθητε.
25 ητε γαρ ωσ προβατα πλανωμενα αλλ επεστραφητε νυν επι τον ποιμενα και επισκοπον των ψυχων υμων
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
25 ἦτε γὰρ ὡς πρόβατα πλανώμενα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπεστράφητε νῦν ἐπὶ τὸν ποιμένα καὶ ἐπίσκοπον τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Let us then continually persevere in our hope, and the earnest of our righteousness, which is Jesus Christ, "who bore our sins in His own body on the tree," "who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth," but endured all things for us, that we might live in Him.
And for this reason Peter says "that we have not liberty as a cloak of maliciousness," but as the means of testing and evidencing faith.
25. But you, "chosen generation, you weak things of the world," who have forsaken all things that you might "follow the Lord," go after Him, and "confound the things which are mighty;" go after Him, ye beautiful feet, and shine in the firmament, that the heavens may declare His glory, dividing between the light of the perfect, though not as …

He is called a Stone, not a lifeless stone, cut out by men's hands, but a chief corner-stone, on whom whosoever believeth shall not be put to shame.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
When you can do good, defer it not, because "alms delivers from death." Be all of you subject one to another "having your conduct blameless among the Gentiles," that ye may both receive praise for your good works, and the Lord may not be blasphemed through you.
